Ive been asked to shoot a wedding in August, ive got no intensions of doing this type of photography on a regular basis its really to help someone out. Ive explained ive never done this before and if there not happy with the pics its not my fault, so theyve been warned!

Any tips on this style, what kinda lens is best ect? Any help would be appreciated tbh.

I think a wedding shoot is a massive thing to take on, once in a lifetime pictures (usualy) I think if you dont have the confidence to do it, then dont. For me, saying its not my fault if pics are no good just dont cut it.

not popping at you, its just expectations from people that know someone who takes pictures. my nephew wants me to take pics of him with his new born son and asked me if i can do special effects. Like baby floating in clouds, i just liiked at him. to may cgi films mate.

no, you wont be fine, you will both be rubbish. heard of back up cameras but not photographers, in other words your shooting candid. great , that works. there are a 1001 things to remember at a wedding shoot, experience will give you 999 9of them. we all learn to dial in a simple dslr and think we can shoot the world. david bailey would wipe the floor with 99% of us using a mobile phone camera.

The Bride and Groom have decided, been warned, and stuck to their decision. Who is to blame if the photographs do not come out perfectly?
Both parties are

if the statement fits then wear it., who is to blame, both parties, dont be stupid. you are offering a service of competence. Y Y Y do it, even its not your forte then y take it on. its not your wedding so money issues r not your problem. I have noticed this over the last few years, camera development, magazines, forums. all with advice as how to do things. If you cant do it then just say so, im a welder for trade, 30 years is telling me how to do things. Photography has been around for many years, fantastic hobby buty please dont think your better than the guy that was playing with a zenith 35 years ago. we all have our places, mess the girls wedding up cos you think you know what ya doing.
